Turkish

Etymology

From Ottoman Turkish ایله (ile, “with”), from Proto-Turkic *bile (“with; together, also”). Doublet of bile.

Pronunciation

Postposition

ile

  1. with
    Arkadaşımla dışarı çıkıyorum. ― I am going out with my friend.
    Müsadenizle. ― With your permission.

Conjunction

ile

  1. and (joining two noun phrases)
    Ateşle barut yan yana durmaz. ― Fire and gunpowder, side by side, do not last.

Usage notes

These usage notes apply equally to the use of ile as a postposition and as a conjunction.

The term can be used as a stand-alone word, but usually takes the form of an enclitic, that is, it is suffixed to the preceding word as -la / -yla or -le / -yle. Which form is used depends on the affixed word's dominant vowel, and whether the word ends in a vowel or a consonant.

  • -le — with a dominant front-vowel (i, e, ü, ö) and a consonant ending
    • kardeşin (“your brother”) — kardeşinle (“with your brother”)
    • düşünceleriniz (“your ideas”) — düşüncelerinizle (“with your ideas”)
  • -yle — with a dominant front-vowel (i, e, ü, ö) and a vowel ending
    • battaniye (“blanket”) — battaniyeyle (“with a/the blanket”)
    • üyeleri (“their members”) — üyeleriyle (“with their members”)
  • -la — with a dominant back-vowel (ı, a, u, o) and a consonant ending
    • arkadaşım (“my friend”) — arkadaşımla (“with my friend”)
    • akrabalarımız (“our relatives”) — akrabalarımızla (“with our relatives”)
    • yanlışlık (“mistake”) - yanlışlıkla (“by mistake”, literally “with a mistake”)
  • -yla — with a dominant back-vowel (ı, a, u, o) and a vowel ending
    • arkadaşı (“his friend”) — arkadaşıyla (“with his friend”)
    • oyuncakları (“their toys”) — oyuncaklarıyla (“with their toys”)

An apostrophe is required when suffixed to a proper noun:

  • Şebnem'le
  • Ali'yle
  • Barış'la
  • Beyza'yla

Generally, the stress in a Turkish word goes to the last syllable, but, when used as an enclitic, (y)le / (y)la is unstressed and leaves the stress of the preceding word to which it is suffixed unchanged.

In a curious exception to vowel harmony, the suffix -yla raises a preceding back vowel ı to a front vowel i. For example, the word dolayısıyla (“consequently”, “therefore”) is pronounced /doɫɑjɯˈsɯjɫɑ/.

The dual role of the term can occasionally result in an ambiguity. The saying bir taşla iki kuş vurmak, literally “to hit two birds with one stone”, can (theoretically) also mean “to hit one stone and two birds”.

Etymology
